My uncle is selling me his 2000 Dodge ram 2500 5.9 gas job for 350 bucks. It runs but it will die at random. They shop they had brought it to said the computer was bad in it. This guy is also they guy that says that your front end needs replacing when you have an exhaust leak so I dont trust him. Havent got the truck yet but going to pick it up in the next week or so. Any thoughts as to what could be wrong with it?
Thanks

I'd start by replacing the battery, sparkplug and wires/coil packs whatever it uses, fuel filter oil change
